I know how things can add up quickly when going boosted, but Turbo's are even more boost/heat critical on your IAT's. Hence meth injection would be even more benefitial on a Turbo car than a supercharged one, as the Turbo will create much more hotter IAT's getting you that much closer to detonation.

Most meth injection kits really aren't that much, and as mentioned before the meth itself is dirt cheep, and if you mix it with distilled water, it becomes even more inexpensive, and you really don't go through that much of it relatively speaking.

LOL, my first boosted car, LOL

I love guys that make assumptions without facts, anyways back on track. Everyone has his opinion and I wasn't knocking meth, the fact that I'll be using it would be somewhat hypicritcal not? Whether you use meth or not and wanna push dencent boost shoot b/w 8.0-8.8 imo
